Romance rumors first linked the two actors as a couple in January 2012. The two also previously costarred as on-screen husband and wife on Revenge.

VanCamp also opened up about the happy news at the Fox Upfronts on Monday.

“It’s been a crazy week,” VanCamp, whose medical drama The Resident has just been picked up as a pilot, told Entertainment Tonight. “I found out about the show two hours after we got engaged so it was, like — I don’t think I slept for three nights. It’s been good, it’s been really positive.”

As for the proposal? It took place in a forest, and VanCamp gushed that Bowman “did good.”

“We were in nature on a hike kind of doing what we do,” she said. “It was very, sort of, us. It was great — beautiful.”

And for now, wedding planning isn’t even on her mind.

“I never was the girl who knew what she wanted to do for a wedding,” she said. “[I’m] just enjoying this moment. It’s really nice, you know?”
